Didn't enjoy it as much as book 1

Just as good if not better than the first in the series. Really loved both of these.

4.25
adventurous medium-paced

This is probably a 3.5 star read. This started out pretty fun and interesting. Then, it just dragged. I think I maybe just hated West and Fable together. I never got the romance in the first book - it was just out of nowhere. And I honestly still didn’t believe or get it - which is saying a lot because I enjoy insta-love romance. I love all sorts of romances, and I still didn’t like this one. Maybe I just felt West was one-dimensional, so I never cared about him. I liked Fable for the most part and her growth. I even felt like Saint was handled somewhat well. The ending between the two of them was wrapped a little too neatly - bordering on unbelievable. Plot was mostly interesting.

4.25 stars. An amazing read(even though I personally think that the 1st book was better)
-WEST. Motherfucking West. Amazing character(even though I hate how secretive he is). amazing love interest for our dear Fable
-the crew was just such a good group, I loved them all sooo much, unfortunately they don't show up much here
-I loved Fable, a little sensitive but a heroine whose point of view and logic I can understand even if sometimes I didn't agree with her.
-the ending tho- I cant wait to learn more about Saint from the novel that will come next

Fable is dumb, but at least she knows she is.
